Hobbs, usually by now it is pretty well set. They will have some time this morning after they are up for all of their scheming, but after that they spend a lot of time in rehearsals, getting dressed, getting prepped, etc. Remember the show starts at 5:00 on the left coast where they are. If they do not even get up until mid-morning, there is simply not a lot of time left

You are right, things may still change; but there really is not that much time for any real shenanigans.

My only hope is that Dick and Danielle do not find out. Their reaction will be priceless.

Any word on what Jen may do? Will she stay loyal to D&D or will she change having been so wronged by Dick for so long.

It would be good to see only one vote (Dick's) to evict Eric. That would cut D&D down to size.

Really nice... "cut D&D down to size."

Zach and Dick and Jen will vote to evict Eric.

Just as it was unfair for Eric to have to mess up his game to play the America's Choice player, so it is also unfair for Amber to be persuaded by the show's staff. Not that two wrongs make it right, but I do think Eric's game was compromised by being told how to vote/what to do, etc. Also, that banner was unfair. Can he sue CBS for negligence, citing they did not do everything in their power to get that banner to not be seen? Probably not. So I'm not going to jump on the "unfair!" bandwagon. Eric wanted to be on this show for so long, so badly, and you all saw his family's reaction that first show when they were told that he was the AP. They were like, "OH NO!! This is going to possibly ruin his game" which it did. It's only fair that the DR helped him out, just a little.

Lets not forget that BB gave Jannelle TONS of inside information both seasons she was on the show. They even designed comptetions they knew she would excel at.

All of this stuff is speculation but lets face it. Its in the LNC's favor to keep Eric. The only person he did anything wrong to was Amber. But its a cut throat game and Amber is far from innocent and infact is the dirtiest player in the game next to Dick.

I wouldn't trust Amber's assessment of the DR's intentions. Remember, she also thinks she is a Godly person, and that God favors her above all the others, and that all the other HG's are in love with her. Maybe that's what she thought she heard from the DR, but perhaps that's just how she took it, and not necessarily what their intentions were . . . . . . just a thought.

Eric's downfall certainly was not helped by being AP or the banner, but to me, what really doomed him was firstly his actions, bus secondly his inability to roll with the past week. He has looked extremely guilty, nevervous, figity, non stop talk, overly looking for reinforcement from his team for days. If he had rolled with it better, he would not be in the situation IMO. Amber was also called out on the banner, but she is not a target yet. Eric did himself in with his neurosis, and has no one to blame but himself. If it quacks like a duck.... Too bad so many other players have been screwed over by this lame twist. Eric should go and we should move on to play as normal.

Even if Eric stays his game has been comprimised. If he makes it to the final 2, he is playing for 2nd place.

Yes, Amber herself said that the DR was encouraging her to keep Eric. The manipulation by the PTB still, amazingly enough, irks me. I don't know why it does since they have done it for so long. But it does.

I do think that for THIS week that the LNC5 might be making a strategic move, but eventually they will have to break up as the numbers dwindle.

I just want Eric to go, but who knows what will happen because these people can't seem to figure out that they can't hold a group together forever and that at some point they are going to have to split up.

And, I think that if Eric goes for HOH and gets it, he needs to be very careful about who he puts up, because if he does put up D/D and all of the LNC5 throw the veto comp so that one of them is guaranteed to go, I think that the PTB will probably manipulate the HOH comp in some way to give whoever remains (either father or daughter) an advantage just to keep up the drama in the house. Of course, if they won and it is double eviction, it will be priceless if they put up two of the LNC and the other 3 have to vote immediately. They won't know what to do -- now that will be priceless!

Oh I am so doing the happy dance. Last night I was sure Eric was going and I wake up to find out he might stay! :-) He might be a liar, but he is GOOD at playing this game! If they can keep this quiet, Dick might be a volcano tonight on live TV. This should be good.

Uh oh, sun is rising out here in the west . . . . .means it's time for everyone to flip their vote again! (who was it that said yesterday on this disucssion thread that Eric seems to stay with sunset, and go with the sunrise? That was cleverly true!)

I don't think the DR told her quote.... keep Eric.

I think the DR asks questions to make the HGs think and question their initial reactions and choices. I think they do that with ALL the HGs throughout the show and throughout all BB seasons.

We know the DR has some influence over them, that's why they're not allowed to talk to other HGs about DR sessions and also why we get vortex when they do. It's all part of the BB game and has been this way ever since I've been watching in Season 2. This is not new information, IMO.

Dick had bad timing on this. If he had waited until the early morning hours of today to spill to Amber about Eric, there wouldn't have been time for Eric to flip the votes back. If Dick could learn to hold on to some information instead of blabbing everything, he might have been able to pull this off(he still might).

After a month of BB I am so tired of AP. It is hard enough for a person to play this game without having to do what Eric has had to do. This is all about BB making a few dollars when people vote with thier cell phones. I would never pay a dime. If I voted it would be online only.
If I could vote I would vote no AP. Why should one person's game be screwed. Let's face it that a ton of people are voting not to help Eric. They are trying to ruin his game and that is the reason this AP stinks.

Personally, I don't consider it lying when Eric says "I did not cast those votes". Because he didn't! We did. Eric is never even given a choice in the live voting. He goes in, Julie makes small talk so the timing looks like he is voting to the other houseguests,then he leaves.

Yea, cause Amber never lies, either. You don't think maybe she changed her mind and is blaming it on the DR? Isn't that a possibility? DOesn't want to look like she would vote somebody through who wronged her the way Eric did, so she's going to need to blame it on someone or something. Amber also blamed everyone else (mostly Eric) for voting Nick out last week when she was really the FIRST person to mention it!!

In my opinion, Amber comes off as dilusional at times. Just my assessment of her. Could be wrong.

Purple - no, they don't come right out and tell people flat out what to do, but even to suggest it or manipulate what happens by asking certain questions irritates me. Just how it makes me feel. And even with the do it with all the HGs instead of just one or a few, it still irritates me. Yes, it has been part of the game but one of the few things that I don't like. Doesn't mean I'm going to stop watching.

I don't think the FCC cares. And I can guarantee that CBS has their contracts iron-clad where noone could possibly sue them for anything of the like. They have an army of attorneys. I know -- I work for the 4th largest firm in the country and big corporations don't take alot of chances with contracts. It's why you so seldom see actors or anyone else suing them. Love those attorneys...NOT!

I don't think they're doing anything different than they do when anyone is on the block.

They tell the HG who is nominated to fight hard to stay and they question the other HGs on both sides of the argument and make them think about different things.

With AMber, she's sooooo easy to sway anyway. I'm sure they were simply encourageing her to keep her word. To save face, at least a little after what she's going to go through on the outside. They know this is a piece of cake compared to what the real world is going to do to her.

Could it be that the DR called Amber on the carpet about the racial remarks and then reminded her that Eric was Jewish. That would make her think that if she voted against him she would be perceived as a racist but if she voted for him to stay, people might overlook it.

I wonder also if the DR asked Dustin if he really thought he could trust D&D and that got him to thinking about it and started doing the math.

We know that the DR often asks the HGs who they trust the most and if they trust certain people. It is probably a give away that they should do some serious thinking. But we have no way of knowing that they have not been giving the others the same kinds of hints. Dani's epiphany during the comp has always sounded a little fishy to me.

You know, what is the BEST (and really only) reason for me that Eric stays is to piss of Dick. Don't get me wrong, I like Dick, but I do not like his thinking in that it rolls his way or NO way. I think the fireworks will be worth Eric staying.

One other thing...how will BB hide Eric, the AP from the jury house? Don't they get videos of this season to watch? My guess is there will be severe editing of what they get:-).
